A light, fluffy, and tangy dessert that fits a ketogenic diet, made with cream cheese and fresh lemon flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place the cold heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it.
  5. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Spoon the mousse into small serving dishes or glasses.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the mousse for 2 hours.
  • You can garnish with extra lemon zest or a few fresh raspberries if desired.
  • If you do not have powdered sweetener, blend granular sweetener in a food processor until fine before using.
